Hi Per,
I have downloaded "octave-2.1.50" and configured with
octave-2.1.50$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/local
However, there is no config.h file in the "octave-2.1.50" directory.
The only occurrence of "HAVE_DYLD_API" in the directory is in
~/Download/octave-2.1.50/liboctave/oct-shlib.cc
where it appears 3 times.
I see your "#define HAVE_DYLD_API 1" instruction in the
"INSTALL.MacOSX" file in the "octave-forge-2003.06.02" distribution.
That advice applies to the "octave-2.1.48" distribution. It's for Mac
OSX 10.2.x.
I am running Mac OSX 10.3.2. Maybe the --enable-shared and --enable-dl
options will work on this later version of OS X. On the other hand,
maybe I need to install octave-2.1.48 so I'll have an config.h file to
tweak. Are there any Panther people out there that know the right
approach?
This whole thing is a mess. I'm a real Unix novice, and these Mac OS X
incompatibilities don't help.
Regards,
Vic

sorry to report that my installation efforts have not met with

My octave 2.1.50 has no trouble reading newly installed octave-forge
m-files, but it cannot execute any oct-files.
I think for octave-forge to work your octave had to be compiled
with --enable-shared --enable-dl options.
No, not on Mac OS X :-(
The --enable-shared --enable-dl options won't work on OS X. The
current work-around is to edit config.h _after_ configuring (w/o
--enable-shared --enable-dl options) so that the line: /* #undef
HAVE_DYLD_API */ instead reads: #define HAVE_DYLD_API 1
This will (should) let you build and run .oct files.
